Carbon or carbon fibre?

I think it would look much better colour coded.

Definitely colour code it.

I managed to find a black ashtray/button thing on ebay last week. I've had a grey one for a coupe of years which didn't match my other trim, so swapped that out today.

Cheers Guys
Only very small percentage financed by bank of mum and dad. Rest was my own

Warm starts are loud, cold starts are thunderous
Luckily not my daily as I use the Mrs Ibiza.

I considered Cupra/Golf R/S3/S4/S5/M5 and at a stretch, without money for mods an M4 but decided on this clean example I found over 200 miles away.
One of the last N/A V8's before the new BiTurbo smaller V8's and well out of my price range.
I feel sorry for the 1st owner who shelled out over 60 odd K for this car new. Took quite a hit in 18 months
